HOV ’96

“Shawn Carter was born on December 4th…”

Celebrate JAY Z’s 47th birthday by taking a trip back in time with this playlist of vintage Hova classics, presented by Team TIDAL. And while you’re already there, be sure to revisit RD-20, the original TIDAL documentary about the making of JAY Z’s iconic 1996 album debut, Reasonable Doubt, which turned 20 years old this year.

In the event of his new eighth album, W:/2016ALBUM/, globe-conquering EDM icon deadmau5 is back with the second edition of his discover deadmau5 playlist. Featuring a mix of new deadmau5 bangers among hits and choice cuts from peers, the playlist is primed and ready to soundtrack one hell of a party.

And if you haven’t favorited it already, be sure to head over to the original discover deadmau5, featuring the man behind the mask’s own definitive playlist of deadmau5 favorites.

Childish Gambino is the rap alter ego of multitalented actor, writer, comedian and artist Donald Glover. With the release of his brilliant, funk-inflected new third full-length, “Awaken, My Love!” – our current Album of the Week – we curated this playlist of Childish Gambino’s essentials.

Also check out our playlist of music featured on Atlanta, Donald Glover’s hit new dramedy series on FX, here.
